Fish Preserved In ROck-Salt.

At the White Plains salt works, on the
line of the Central Pacific railroad, be-
yond Wadsworth, in sinking large pits
or wells, many fish, perfectly preserved,
have been found in the strata of rock
salt cut through. The salt-feld occupies
what was once the bottom of large lake.
The fish found are of the pike or pickerel
species and from twelve to sixteen inches
in length. No such fish are now seen in
any of our Nevada lakes. The specimens
are not petrifed, but are preserved in per-
feet form, flesh and all, as though they
had been frozen up in cakes of ice. The
salt works are located near the center of
basin, in which was once lake thirty
miles long by from twelve to fifteen
miles in width, and over three hundred
feet deep in places, as is shown by the
ancient water-lines on the bordering
hills. The fish found imbedded in the
layers of rock-salt are doubtless thou
sands of years old. After being exposed
to the sun and air for day or two they
become as hard as wood. At the time
Jason Baldwin, now watchman at the
Osbiston shaft in this city, was Superin-
tendent of the White Plains works be
found great numbers of these fish. In a
pit 8 feet square and about 16 feet deep
dozens of them were found, there being
sometimes five or six in bunch. Itwas
found that they could be eaten, but they
were not very palatable, and it was nee
essary to soak them in fresh wa or fol
two or three days before attempting to
cook them. Virginia (Nes.) Enterprise.

get up spirit enough to carry you through

They would make good martyrs; but they

great surprise several soldiers did ad'
vance, and one of them leveled his
weapon at the Emperor. Orlott instantly
stcpped forward and struck the man
dead with a blow of his fist. The
Emperor was gratifcd and Orlof rose
step by step, until he became chief OF the
secret police of the empire, an official be-
fore whom all classes trcmbled. Yet the
Emperor occasionally treated him like a
schoolboy. At one time, some secret
information in regard to military affairs
had become public property. ING
Emperor, vexed at this, sent for Orion

good it is. And if you don't give me
in twenty-four hours the name OF the
traitor who let out the secret, you are

ssmy police is so excellent that l do not
require twenty-four hours to give your
Majesty the name of the traitor"

Catching Man Eaters.

This is the season of the year when
the big man-cating sharks of "Dead
Mans Shoals" are caught, says a Cape
May IN. J.) letter to the Philadelphia
Times. 1t takes fisherman of nerve
and strength to catch them. A large,
stout cord, with piece of chain extend
ing up from the hook, is used, that the
monsters may not use their sharp teeth
to regain their liberty when once hooked.
When they are brought to the surface a
well aimed shot from rifle or IL certain
spear thrust puts the man eater to sleep,
and then he is taken on shore, his liver
taken out, from which 4 very odorous
oil is extracted. The carcass does for

DakOta's Indian Mounds.

Professor Montgomery, of the Univer-
sity of North Dakota, has recently dis
covered and opened five mounds about
Devil Lakeland from his work in other
other parts of the United States ana
Canada, and his knowledge OF the re-
search of others, he concludes he has
here found relics of the Mound Builder:
He has excavated thirty skeletons, several
of these too old and decomposed to be
preserved in proper shape, more tnan
thirty implements, trinket and utensils,
including shell spoons, urns OF earthen
ware, stones, pipes, bone knives, copper
sockets, evidently for knife handles,
having several rivet holes, two large and
beautiful pearl earrings ornamenced
with copper, one perforated tooth a6out
nine or ten inches in length, supposed to
be that of walrus from the Arctic region,
one large fat piece of pipestone bearing
the figure of turtle cut on one side ana
the rude outline of badger on the other,
various other shells, charred wood, remains
of fruit probably intended for food
also of fishes and birds probably intended
for the same use. Perhaps the most In
teresting mound found thus far was one
the Professor calls sacrificial mound, IN
which, seventeen inches from the surface,
are wells easy found because of a lining
of lime about the sides and layers of bark
on the bottom. These are deep enough
to hold bodies in sitting posture, whose
skeletons have been taken out, and birch
baskets with them, nicely stitched (the
thread gone of coursel and containing
hard seeds. The mounds are on undulat'

How Coffee Acts.

Coffee acts upon the brain as Stimu.
liant, melting it to increased activity and
producing sleeplessness; hence it is OF
great value as an antidote to narcotic
poisons. 1t is also supposed to pre-
vent too rapid waste in the tissues
of the body, and in that way enables it
to support life on less food. These
effects are due to the volatile oil and
also to q peculiar crystalizable nitroge-
nous principle, termed caffeine. The
leaves of the plant likewise contain the
same principle, and the inhabitants of
the island of Sumatra prefer an infusion
of the leaves to that of the berries. Its
essential qualities are also changed,
the heat causing the development of
the volatile oil and peculiar acid which
gives aroma and favor.-Seisntitc Anle''i-

Paul and Prayer.

With Paul his prayers were themselves
quite as muv::, part Of his work for God as
his preaching the gospel or his suffering for
the truths sake. And though in this as well
as in every other part Of his work, he.or as
he says, "Not I, but the grace OF God thai
was in me"-labored more abundantly than
all who either went before him or have fol.
lowed him in the work Of witnessing Tor
Christ, yet this, at least, is certain: that l
can only follow his example in his work for
God in proportion as I follow it in regard to
prayer. 1t very profitable to consider how
much preparatory thought the Apostle must
have given to his work before praying; no"
he must have considered the various clrcum.
stances in regard to which the assistance and
direction of God were needed for it; the
spccial aid that he and others required: the
special dangers and temptations and difficult
ties to which it was liable Thus shall real
ize better how truly prayer Is itself work,
not only for God, but with God and In God
And if I need general rule for my eontinu-
al direction in ''my work for God" let ma
remember that the most general and the
most practical Of all is that which st. Paul
has given us and e1emplifed in his own life:
"Continue steadfastly in prayer, Watching
therein with thanksgiving."|H.C Cotterll,

The Sense Of Temperature.

DR.. Goldschneider lately presented
and explained to the Berlin Physiological
Society plates illustrating the topog-
raphy of the sense of temperature. The
sense of heat and cold was determined
for the whole surface of the body, and
arranged in a series corresponding to
twelve degrees of intensity. As a general
result, it was found that the sense OF
cold is more extended than that of heat
that both senses are more developed on
the trunk than on the extremities; that
the sense of temperature is less acute in
the median line of the body; that the
distribution of this sense over the surface
of the body is quite different from that
of the sense of touch; and that the
points of exit of the nerves possess little
or 10 sense of temperature.

Drueged Beer.

In recent number of the Sanitartum, in
an article on 'Drugged Beer" E. n. Barley
M. D., Chief Chemist Of the Health Depart
ment Of Brooklyn, invites attention to the e1-
tensive and dangerous use Of salicylic acid by
brewers to prevent fermentation in their
beer. He says: "Unless it be thoroughly
cured and we'll cleared the beer will often
spoil, before it is consumed, by process OF
fermentation or putrefaction. To avoid the
necessary care in the manufacture, and the
keeping of the beer for longer time, 1t mas
become a practice among brewers to add
salicylic acid to prevent this fermentation
after the beer is sent out" He says that
there can be no doubt that in large quantities
it acts very injuriously both upon the digest
i've processes and the kidneys, and adds: IN
its elimination the kidneys not rarely become
acutely copgested, or even inflamed; giving
rise to acute Brights disease" In the ples1I psI
ence of such danger, even II the s aieonU1 ond
also were not an irritant poison, the wise anu
safe thing to do is to let the beer alone
